Kebab (kabab in India/Pakistan, also spelled kebap, kebob, kabob) means grilled meat in Turkish. Kebab is usually made of lamb and beef, although chicken and fish can be used for some styles, and pork is also commonly used by non-Muslim sellers. There are many varieties of kebab and the term means different things in different countries. The term kebab without specifying the kind refers to döner kebab in Europe and to shish kebab in the United States.
Döner kebab
lit. "rotating meat", sliced lamb or chicken loaf slowly roasted on a rotating spit. Alternate names for döner kebab include gyros in Greece (which is usually pork and lamb) and shwarma in the Middle East and North Africa. Döner kebab is normally served in pita bread with salad. Take-out döner kebab or shwarma restaurants are common in some parts of Europe. Döner Kebab is said to be the best-selling fast food in Germany; it is usually referred to as just "Döner" there. Enterprising take-away operators (catering generally to drunken post-pub revellers) sometimes put kebab meat on a pizza, producing a culturally-dubious "kebabpizza". Take-out gyros is quite popular in the United States.
Shish kebab
(şiş kebab in turkish) a wooden or metal stick with small cubes of any kind of meat, fowl or fish with vegetables that is roasted on a grill. Vegetables typically used include eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, onion and mushrooms.
Some variants:
- Samak Kebab - grilled fish on a stick
- Shish Tawook - chicken (often marinated in yogurt) grilled on a stick (şiş tavik in turkish)
- Shish Köfte - köfte kebab (see below) grilled on a stick
American varieties of shish kebab include:
